Turbo50t Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hey have any of you running OS X on a hackintosh had the problem of being able to use boot keys at system startup? Is there a work around to be able to get your keys recognized when you boot or reboot? I did't realize that mine would not work until I made a boot CD and found the I can't get it to boot. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 On a Hackintosh, you need to go into BIOS and set the CD/DVD as the primary boot device in order to boot the CD/DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo50t Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 No setting the CD as first Boot Device doesn't work. It does for the install CD, but not a Mac Bootable CD, since they Boot thru the EFI, I think. Does anyone know if there are commandline commands that will force a boot off of the CD? Superhai, Do you know of a workaround for this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
